The Anti-Defamation League of the B’nai B’rith today submitted to the N.Y. State Commission Against Discrimination a report on racial and religious discrimination practiced by hotels, resorts, real estate companies and travel agencies. The commission was asked to take appropriate action in accordance with the laws of the state against discriminatory practices.
The report carried full documentation on over 200 hotels, resorts, and other agencies, whose printed literature, newspaper advertising or correspondence with prospective guests unequivocally stated their discriminatory policy.
